Ghada Hashem Talhami is D. K. Pearsons Professor of Politics at Lake Forest College, emerita.
This work goes well beyond the scope of its title to examine the
struggle of the Egyptian press over the past 150 years for the
freedom of the press. Based on painstaking and thorough research,
Professor Talhami has produced the most eloquent and stimulating
study of this significant and neglected dimension of the Egyptan
struggle for democracy. This is essential reading for understanding
Egyptian politics today.

Studies*
A landmark achievement and unique analysis of the role of the press
as 'hero and villain' of Egyptian political life and as a major
force in the Palestine question.
